Staying in This Weekend?

November 18, 2022

Looking for ways to spend your weekend without actually spending? Or maybe you want to avoid the crowds and do something at home? Here are our suggestions for a great night in!

On a Budget?

Host a Cheese & Wine Night

Is there a better pairing than wine and cheese? We think not! Although you’ll find cheese and wine nights all over Dubai, they often come with a rather large price tag. Why not get friends together and recreate your very own cheese and wine night at a fraction of the cost?

Ask your guests to bring along their favourite cheese variety and grab a few bottles of vino from your local booze shop, and you’ve got yourself a great night in! If you want to splash out a little, you can order some great cheese hampers straight to your door. Check out Cheese on Board, Abela & Co or FNP for some great artisanal cheese boxes.

Start a Book Club

Thanks to Reese Witherspoon, book clubs have seen a huge revival in recent years. If you want something to do with your weekend that doesn’t involve spending your well-earned money, why not organise a book club with friends? To kick things off, choose a few books randomly and ask your book club participants to vote for what they want to start with. If you need some inspiration, check out Reese’s personal suggestions here.

Avoiding the Hustle and Bustle?

Enjoy a Home Massage

If this weekend is going to be one of hibernation, bring the spa to you with a massage from Dubai’s leading home massage service.

Choose from various massages, including Swedish, deep tissue, Balinese, and Thai. Or, you can choose from the extensive list of spa treatments, including a selection of high-end facials, body scrubs and even a gemstone massage. Couples rituals are also available if you want to turn the experience into an unbeatable date night.
